Groovy Sticker Snowflakes Art (Printable included)
With the start of the new school year, our family is still trying to find its new normal. Transitions from school to home can sometimes be rough. So we've been trying to keep things easy with more downtime in the afternoon. We play at the park, read books, or do simple open-ended crafts. Today I wanted to share a really easy open-ended snowflake craft that my son and I really enjoyed. We pulled out some old stickers and made ourselves some groovy sticker snowflakes!

With the start of the school year, my son and I've been talking a lot friendships- what it takes to make and be a friend.

Inspired by this wikiHow post I cut out and doodled some kid paper chains. Yup. Today's post is going old-school with 2 fun paper people chain designs.

Bet you read the title and thought... what? Rainbow snowflakes? Well, I had a tough time figuring what to name this rainbow craft. Is it a snowflake craft? Is it considered kirigami? I'm not sure. All I know is that it's a cute and fun paper cutting craft for rainbow-loving kids to try out.

Family Watercolor Hand print Art
I'm always a bit nervous about transitions in life. And having a new baby has certainly been a humongous transition for our whole family. Diapers, giggles, crying, baby snuggles... we're still trying to find our new groove as a family of four. So I came up with this hand print art project to do with my eldest son. Despite all the crazy chaos that this stage of life brings, I still wanted to celebrate our family.

Mini Painted Sponge Christmas Trees
Can you believe that it's already mid November? Time sure flies by quickly! Even though it's not yet Thanksgiving, my son's already asked me to put up the Christmas tree and make Christmas Crafts.
Well, we still haven't put up the tree, but we have been crafting more together at night. Recently, we turned a bunch of old makeup sponges into mini Christmas trees. I know, they're not as beautiful as the real thing... but for now, they'll do!

Recycled Hibernating Bear Craft! (And our favorite Bear books!)
Does your child love learning about nature? With the recent cooler weather we've been turning to more fall crafts and winter crafts. Recently we talked about bears and hibernation. (For some reason my preschooler was amused by the idea of an animal sleeping through the winter. As a tired, pregnant mom... the idea of sleeping for a long time really appealed to me!)
Today I'm sharing this easy Recycled Hibernating Bear Craft! It's a great way to teach kids about their natural world using some creative arts and crafts fun!

The Snowy Day Shadow box
Howdy, friends! Today the Creative Preschool Collaborators and I are sharing 5 fun Winter-themed preschool activities and crafts! So be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the post for other great ideas!

Ezra Jack Keats' book, The Snowy Day, has always been a favorite of mine. His illustrations are simple, charming, colorful, and graphic. He really captures the magic of a winter snowfall. Plus, I love that he supports multiculturalism and made his main character a young black boy. So when I found out that this week's theme was Winter, I was excited to read this book with Chuck and combine it with a craft.

Lego Snowflakes
Do you enjoy cutting snowflakes from paper? Do you like Lego? Then I've got a treat for you! Combining both, I recently figured out how to cut out Lego snowflakes!
Hubby and I both grew up loving Lego toys. Chuck loves his cars and train Duplo sets. And every year I find myself cutting all sorts of paper snowflakes to decorate our windows. So this year, I was inspired by this neat Batman snowflake design to create two cute and easy-to- cut Lego Snowflakes.
